Unity Stamp Company Challenge PINK, GREEN and OFF WHITE

OOOOO how I love challenges.... Unity has yet another compelling challenge set forth ;0)
The challenge, to use pink, green and off white. This card took me two hours!!! Can you believe that?! Two hours to find the right colors that appeased me and met the criteria for the challenge. I found some Stampin Up designer paper that I had purchased a year or so ago and barely used with the intentions of using up.... yea... about that. I believe I had purchased this just prior to getting our orders to move to Hawaii so I had to pack everything up and keep out what I was going to put on the plane and somehow this designer paper got left out. None the less it worked perfect after a LOT of stamping, embossing and cutting I got the layers just the way I wanted them! How perfect?! I found papers that had off white, green AND pink!!! PHEW......

ALL the stamped images and the sentiment are from Unity's A Mother's Love stamp set.

Top layer cut at 4 x 3 Pattern Paper, sheesh I bought this.... years ago and I can't remember the brand
;0( rounded the edges using CM corner punch, inked edges with Pretty in Pink adhered using TomBoy to mat.

Stamped flourish using Stampin Up Craft Certainly Celery onto Stampin Up designer paper then embossed using Stampin Up Crystal Clear embossing powder and fussy cut out image. Adhered to top layer using dimensionals.

Stamped large flower using Stampin Up Craft Pretty in Pink onto Stampin Up designer paper, embossed using Stampin Up Crystal Clear embossing powder and fussy cut out image. Using my Stampin Up piercing tool punched a hole in the center of the flower, embellished with Close To My Heart Brad from the Twinkle Brads "jolly". Placed dimensional on the back of flower adhered to layer.

Stamped the beautiful butterfly from the set using Stampin Up Craft Pretty in Pink onto the mystery pattern paper, embossed using Stampin Up Crystal Clear embossing powder and fussy cut out image. Adhered using TomBoy to the brad.

Finally I stamped the sentiment using Stampin Up Craft Pretty embossed using Stampin Up Crystal Clear embossing powder onto the top of the base.

Now you know a little bit about me...

For those that know me, and those who are getting to know me, first and foremost I am a mother of two boys. Secondly I am a wife, an Army wife, a proud Army wife. I love to make people smile regardless if it's due to my lack of being graceful, being just plain goofy or my favortite... making cards for friends and loved ones. It gives me an opportunity to have an outlet for my creative side. I do love to draw but those come in spurts so I get to do that when it's quiet in the house. When I get to draw, read, make cards and scrapbook I'm usually in my pj's, hence Paper and Pajama's, after my boys are in bed and asleep. I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and boy do I miss the Texas heat... yea I say that now lol. My Husband is from Jacksonville, FL and he misses the humidity... uh yea about that... As of now we are stationed in Hawaii and we are enjoying the scenery. I guess that's about it for me... Hope I get to know you as well!!
